Strange Cards

Chapter 22 Hunter Shigure

"Boss, are we just going to walk away from what's going on here?"

"What's the point of worrying about that? He's already escaped. Are we supposed to fight him to the death all night without sleeping?"

"withdraw!"

Qi Wu waved his hand, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts. Just as Shi Yu turned to leave, Qi Wu patted Shi Yu's shoulder with his large hand.

"The hunter's duty is not just to retrieve the strange cards, but more importantly, to carry out justice that the law cannot."

"Those civilized people up there have to reason with others and persuade them with logic; we here have to use reason to guide them, understand?"

Qi Wu strode forward, while Shi Yu, after pondering for a moment, armed the Ace of Spades and reconstructed it into a motorcycle, following Qi Wu and the others back to the Hunter's Base.

As soon as Shi Yu took off her combat uniform, Yu Yan didn't even go inside the door, but stood at the door and shouted loudly.

"Sister Liu An!!!!!!!!!"

"Is there any food?!"

A terrifying sonic boom erupted from Yu Yan's mouth. Just then, a window upstairs suddenly opened, and a bottle of AD calcium milk hit Yu Yan's head precisely.

"What are you yelling about in the middle of the night, you brat?!"

"Isn't this what I'm doing for you? What are you yelling about?"

"While he's screaming, I'll soak some bitter herbs in water and force-feed it to him while holding his nose!"

Liu An's shrewish roar came down from upstairs, while the others exchanged glances and shook their heads helplessly. Qi Wu walked to the base's infirmary, took out an ice pack, and placed it on Yu Yan's head.

Shi Yu followed the others upstairs to the cafeteria, only to find that a table full of food had already been prepared.

Although it's called a canteen, it's more like a family-style open kitchen, with a very cozy atmosphere.

"Pickled mustard tuber congee... and my favorite raw marinated dishes!"

Yu Yan suddenly reached out and stretched forward, so fast that even Shi Yu only saw a fleeting afterimage.

As if he had anticipated this, Liu An suddenly grabbed a pair of chopsticks and slashed down, hitting Yu Yan's small hand precisely.

"handwashing!!!"

"Even a pig would learn after being hit so many times!"

After washing her hands, Yu Yan sat down at the dining table with her little mouth pouting. Her pout was so pronounced that it could hold several oil bottles.

Yu Yan picked up some raw pickled vegetables and pickled mustard greens and started stirring them vigorously in the white porridge, then stuck out her tongue and kept panting.

"It's so hot! So hot! So hot!"

"You're so stupid."

Liu An pulled out a row of AD calcium milk that was clearly chilled from under the table, inserted a special four-in-one straw into it, and handed it to Yu Yan.

"This is the last time you'll drink anything cold this month. Your period is due in a few days."

"ah......"

"Sister Liu An, you must have a way to let me eat some more ice, right?"

Yu Yan stared at Liu An with wide eyes and made a very cute expression, while Liu An pinched Yu Yan's slightly chubby cheeks.

"Can't!"

Yu Yan's face immediately fell, while Shi Yu took a bowl, filled it with some old hen soup, and slowly drank it.

"Oh, right, Shigure."

Qi Wu, who was enjoying his raw marinated food with Shunzi and Da Niu, suddenly remembered something and quickly got up to wash his hands.

"What's wrong, boss?"

Shi Yu also stopped eating, and at this moment Qi Wu handed an evolution device to Shi Yu.

"On behalf of the Hunters Organization, I welcome you to join us, Hunter Shigure."

"Your evolution device is rather special and cannot be manufactured at the moment, but the basic evolution device is universal."

"The basic armor with the identification card inserted is better than all combat suits, and its functionality will be more complete."

Shi Yu stared blankly at the evolution device in Qi Wu's hand, while Liu An gently nudged Shi Yu.

"What are you waiting for? Take it!"

Shi Yu took the evolution device in a daze, then took the golden peony from her collar, turned it back into an identity card, and inserted it.

"Beep! Authentication successful!"

"Hunter's Rain!"

"Didn't I... already join the Hunters?"

Liu An stretched out his slender fingers and gently tidied Shi Yu's hair.

"Silly child, joining the hunters isn't that simple. Do you think it's as easy as buying a cabbage from the roadside?"

Liu An smiled gently, took out a chicken leg from the old hen with his chopsticks, and put it in Shi Yu's bowl.

"The hunter's real test is actually your first mission."

"If you succeed in your first mission, no matter how badly you performed before, you will be absorbed into the Hunters, and vice versa."

"The hunter embraces all people, but there is one type of person he does not embrace."

"That means the person who truly embodies justice will not be absorbed, no matter how outstanding he was before."

"Those who enter the Hunter's ranks will all adhere to a common bottom line, and those who violate it will be punished by everyone."

After hearing Liu An's explanation, Shi Yu nodded in sudden understanding, then pointed at everyone and said.

"Is this why you all rushed here after receiving my message? You deliberately let Gong Long go."

"uh-huh."

Yu Yan nodded and gently waved a small device in her hand.

"We had already prepared a miniature drone and placed it on you. While you were fighting, that thing took the opportunity to possess Gong Long."

"That thing is an integrated power grid, but if he has any murderous thoughts, the power grid will be activated directly, turning him into a muggle."

"This thing can render a person incapacitated for a full hour, including supernatural beings."

Qi Wu coughed lightly and raised his wine glass.

"Celebrating the addition of a new general to our hunters! Cheers!"

"Cheers!!!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and the banquet quickly came to a close amidst laughter and joy.

...........

"Drinking will lead to trouble!"

Shi Yu barely managed to get back to her room with the help of a cane. After vomiting in the bathroom to clear her stomach, she rinsed her mouth and went straight to bed without even taking a shower.

The next day, sunlight streamed into Shigure's room through the window, and Shigure, lying in bed, groggily opened her eyes.

"What time is it now?"

"Oh, it's only 7 a.m. on Friday, I can still sleep in..."

"Seven o'clock in the morning..."

"Friday!"

Shi Yu suddenly jumped up, and seeing that he was ten minutes late for morning reading, his heart sank instantly.

At that moment, Liu An knocked on Shi Yu's door and said softly.

"Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face. I can still take you to school in time."

Shi Yu didn't hear the sounds outside clearly. She quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face before rushing to the entrance of the Hunter's Base.

When he realized that the driver sitting in the car was Liu An, his heart, which had been completely dead, vanished with the wind.
